The Structures Panel has representatives on a number of external groups in order to stay up to date with current structures and buildings best practice.
Structural-Safety combines the activities of SCOSS and CROSS to work with the professions, industry and government on safety matters concerned with the design, construction and use of building and civil engineering structures. It:
- collects confidential data on the concerns of structural and civil engineers and others
- provides comments in relation to these concerns
- maintains a data base of reports and publications
- collects data from public sources on failures, collapses and relevant incidents
- considers whether unacceptable risk exists, or might arise in the future
- promotes a positive attitude to learning from experience
- helps to influence changes to improve structural safety.
